Oh really? For a new member of a GLO you certainly seem to be quite an expert (your indicated change in username in your signature indicates, if I am not mistaken, that you have just pledged AXiD.)
When I was a pledge, groups of us often got together and did random crazy stuff without being told to do it. Groups of friends who are not Greek get together and do stupid stuff all the time. Granted, I never participated in anything like this incident- but we were not always doing things that we would want Mom to know about.
And on occasion, pledges- especially new ones- will let a borderline brother or two tell them to do something dumb without the chapter's officers and pledge trainers knowing about it. Often these activities fall well outside the scope of what a chapter's membership and officers find personally acceptable.
Chi Phi was pretty big when I was at UGA (and had a solid reputation in all senses), so I am not ready to believe the actions of what must be a fraction of the brand new pledge class are indicative of attitudes endorsed by the entire chapter.
These 7 guys did something incredibly inappropriate in a public place and so they have invited and earned all the scrutiny that is to come. The idea itself is kind of funny, but white men using photos of African-American women is where a dumb idea became an unacceptable incident worthy of severe action by the University.
But let's see where it all started before we go blaming an entire chapter and hanging the actions of a very few on the heads of many.
